XML to JSON Converter
Convert XML documents to JSON with attribute handling and configurable parsing options
About this tool
This tool converts XML documents into JSON objects using a robust client-side parser. It preserves element nesting, handles attributes (prefixed by default with @_), parses numbers and booleans, and trims whitespace. Use it to bridge XML-based APIs, config files, or legacy data into modern JSON workflows — all processing happens locally in your browser, nothing is uploaded.
Examples & Use Cases
Simple XML to JSON
<!-- XML Input -->
<person>
<name>John Doe</name>
<age>30</age>
<active>true</active>
</person>
// JSON Output
{
"person": {
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 30,
"active": true
}
}A basic XML element with text content is converted to a nested JSON object. Numeric and boolean values are parsed automatically.
XML with Attributes
<!-- XML Input -->
<book id="123" category="fiction">
<title lang="en">The Great Gatsby</title>
<year>1925</year>
</book>
// JSON Output
{
"book": {
"@_id": 123,
"@_category": "fiction",
"title": {
"@_lang": "en",
"#text": "The Great Gatsby"
},
"year": 1925
}
}Attributes are prefixed with @_ by default so they never collide with child element names. Text alongside attributes is nested under #text.
Repeated Elements Become Arrays
<!-- XML Input -->
<library>
<book><title>Book 1</title></book>
<book><title>Book 2</title></book>
</library>
// JSON Output
{
"library": {
"book": [
{ "title": "Book 1" },
{ "title": "Book 2" }
]
}
}Sibling elements with the same tag name are automatically grouped into a JSON array — the natural representation for repeated XML elements.
